What Information Collection Activity or 

ICR Does This Apply To? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are Business, 

Farms, State, Local, or Tribal 

Governments. 

Title: Requirements and Exemptions 

for Specific RCRA Wastes. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1597.08, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0145. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on February 29, 

2008. An Agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information, 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. The OMB control 

numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 

of the CFR, after appearing in the 

Federal Register when approved, are 

listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed 

either by publication in the Federal 

Register or by other appropriate means, 

such as on the related collection 

instrument or form, if applicable. The 

display of OMB control numbers in 

certain EPA regulations is consolidated 

in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: In the 1976 Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 

as amended, Congress directs the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

to develop and administer a 

comprehensive program for the safe 

management and disposal of hazardous 

waste. In 1980, EPA promulgated 

regulations in 40 CFR parts 261–265 to 

comply with RCRA. EPA has since 

added to these regulations on many 

occasions. This ICR concerns two such 

additions. 

In 1995, EPA promulgated regulations 

in 40 CFR part 273 that govern the 

collection and management of widelygenerated hazardous wastes known as 

‘‘Universal Wastes’’. Universal Wastes 

are wastes that are generated in nonindustrial settings by a vast community, 

and are present in non-hazardous waste 

management systems. Examples of 

Universal Wastes include certain 

batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing 

lamps and thermostats. The part 273 

regulations are designed to separate 

Universal Waste from the municipal 

wastestream by encouraging individuals 

and organizations to collect these wastes 

and to manage them in an appropriate 

hazardous waste management system. 

EPA distinguishes two types of handlers 

of Universal Wastes: Small quantity 

handlers of Universal Waste (SQHUW) 

and large quantity handlers of Universal 

Waste (LQHUW). SQHUWs do not 

accumulate more than 5,000 kg of any 

one category of Universal Waste at one 

time, while LQHUWs may accumulate 

quantities at or above this threshold. 

More stringent requirements are 

imposed on LQHUWs because of greater 

potential environmental risks. 

In 2001, EPA promulgated regulations 

in 40 CFR part 266 that provide 

increased flexibility to facilities 

managing wastes commonly known as 

‘‘Mixed Waste’’. Mixed Waste are lowlevel mixed waste (LLMW), and 

naturally occurring and/or acceleratorproduced radioactive material (NARM) 

containing hazardous waste. These 

wastes are also regulated by the Atomic 

Energy Act. As long as specified 

eligibility criteria and conditions are 

met, LLMW and NARM are exempt from 

the definition of hazardous waste as 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
53564 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 19, 2007 / Notices 

defined in part 261. Although these 

eligible wastes are exempted from RCRA 

manifest, transportation, and disposal 

requirements, they must still comply 

with the manifest, transportation, and 

disposal requirements under the NRC 

(or NRC-Agreement State) regulations. 

There are two conditional exemptions. 

The Storage and Treatment Conditional 

Exemption applies to any generator of 

LLMW who is licensed by NRC or an 

NRC Agreement State to manage 

radioactive materials. This exemption is 

available only to LLMW generated 

under a single NRC or NRC Agreement 

State license. LLMW generators must 

notify EPA of the LLMW storage units 

for which they are claiming an 

exemption, and must meet the 

conditions listed in § 266.230. This 

exemption is valid as long as the Mixed 

Waste meets the conditions, remains in 

a conditionally exempt storage unit, and 

is subject to NRC regulation. 

The Transportation and Disposal 

Conditional Exemption from the 

definition of hazardous waste applies to 

generators and treaters who send their 

treated waste to a commercial low-level 

radioactive waste disposal facility 

(LLRWDF) licensed by NRC or NRC 

Agreement State. The eligible LLMW or 

NARM waste would be exempted from 

RCRA Subtitle C once it is placed on the 

transportation vehicle bound for 

disposal at the LLRWDF. The waste 

could then be transported to the 

LLRWDF as strictly radioactive waste 

using an NRC Uniform LLW Manifest. 

Generators and treaters under the 

exemption must undertake the 

information collection requirements 

listed in § 266.345. 

In 1992, EPA finalized management 

standards for used oils destined for 

recycling (see 40 CFR part 279). To 

document and ensure proper handling 

of used oil, these regulations establish 

notification, testing, tracking and 

recordkeeping requirements for used oil 

transporters, processors, re-refiners, 

marketers, and burners. They also set 

standards for the prevention and 

cleanup of releases to the environment 

during storage and transit, and for the 

safe closure of storage units and 

processing and re-refining facilities to 

mitigate future releases and damages. 

EPA believes these requirements 

minimize potential hazards to human 

health and the environment from the 

potential mismanagement of used oil by 

used oil handlers, while providing for 

the safe recycling of used oil. 

Information from these information 

collection requirements is used to 

ensure compliance with the Used Oil 

Management Standards in 40 CFR part 

279. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 2 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 121,422. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1.02. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

653,520. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$34,208,000. This includes an estimated 

labor burden cost of $24,193,000 and an 

estimated cost of $10,015,000 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

What Is the Next Step in the Process for 

This ICR? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

then be submitted to OMB for review 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the 

technical person listed under FOR
